AL6XN plate, sheet, alloys pipe, and tube are used in subsea control lines, valves, • Nickel- and cobalt-base alloys and superalloys flow lines and LNG vaporizers. Our lean duplex stainless steels, such as ATI 2003, are ideal for subsea, flexible flow lines and umbilical tubing, and for off- shore platform topside applications. ATI’s 925 alloy is a proprietary, corrosion-resistant alloy developed for downhole, sour well production. ATI’s Oil & Gas products meet the certification standards of NORSOK, NACE, API, ASME and ASTM. ATI Nuclear Energy: The company’s broad range of products is used for applications from the core of a nuclear reactor to spent-fuel storage. ATI’s tita- nium, stainless, and specialty alloys, as well as nickel- base, zirconium, tungsten heavy alloys, hafnium, and niobium deliver excellent strength and corro- sion resistance.
